Jan Siberechts (1627–1703),

was a Flemish landscape painter who after a successful career in Antwerp, emigrated in the latter part of his life to England. About 100 of his works have been preserved. His early works were indebted to Dutch Italianate landscape painters such as Nicolaes Berchem and Karel Dujardin. Siberechts must have become acquainted with their work in Antwerp as these artists were mainly active in Rome and Siberechts possibly did not visit Italy himself although such a visit in the late 1640s, early 1650s cannot be excluded.
